Well it's 50:50 on the whole CSS/Tables thing. Everything's CSS but it's got Tables keeping it together else it's just all over the place.

Yeah I've been trying to migrate away from tables in other projects.  Not working out.  (Heh...)

Nobody knows how to properly use the positioning aspects of CSS...my site works perfectly fine (save for some IE glitches I think) and I use only one table, mainly because I couldn't be arsed to write up a new calendar portion.  http://ls.mysticsoftware.net/  -- I supposed I could modify it to table-less as an afterthought.

For those wondering, here are the good reasons why to avoid using tables and use CSS Positioning attributes and <div> tags:

1) Tables cannot be rendered properly until the entire block of code is loaded.  This becomes a nasty issue when you use nested tables.  While most browsers try to render realtime when buffering the download of a website, the proper display of a website cannot be obtained until the page has finished downloading.

2) While individual <div> blocks may have similar rendering issues, the don't require the entire thing to be loaded properly.  Assuming one uses the CSS size and positioning attributes properly, each "cell" of a <div> can load, and be displayed immediately, and usually with proper respect to a website's design.

3) <div> provides much more control with regards to placement and sizing through the use of CSS.  While tables are restricted to sizing, padding, and margin attributes.  Tables can achieve a pseudo-positioning attribute when linked to CSS or are subsequently nested.
